What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earth’s atmosphere?

2 answers:

3 0

The answer is A.It is absorbed by Earth.

When the atmosphere is heated by the solar radiation, it radiates heat back to the Earth's surface increasing the Earth's surface temperature. This is also what causes the greenhouse effect and urban heat island.

Hope it helps!

Hi! Glad to help soo......

Your answer would be A it is absorbed by the earth

The energy entering, reflected, absorbed, and emitted by the Earth system are the components of the Earth's radiation budget. Based on the physics principle of conservation of energy, this radiation budget represents the accounting of the balance between incoming radiation, which is almost entirely solar radiation, and outgoing radiation, which is partly reflected solar radiation and partly radiation emitted from the Earth system, including the atmosphere. A budget that's out of balance can cause the temperature of the atmosphere to increase or decrease and eventually affect our climate.

The planet Mars has two moons. Phobos and Delmos (i) phobos has period `7` hours, `39` minutes and an orbital radius of `9.4 xx 10^(3) km`. Calculate the mass of Mars. (ii) Assume that Earth and mars move in a circular orbit around the sun, with the martian orbit being `1.52` times the orbital radius of the Earth. What is the length of the martian year in days? `(G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`

Answer:

It has high temperatures and low precipitation. the reason this would be corect is because, if very little preicipitation/rain/water doesn't happen then how are the tree suppsoed to get it nutrients or how are the leaves suposed to get its nutrients so it doesn't because rotten and fall of the branches. Some areas that may not have much precipitation coming in, may most likely not have tress in the whole area or everywhere.

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

Initial population

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

Generation time

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have-   $\frac{300}{30}$ = 10 generations

New bacterial population

Using formula $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria

$2^{10}$ x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
